Black screen iDrive. radio still works.

tjobeid · 03-08-2015, 07:44 PM

Got a 2007 335i with ccc idrive. Everything was working fine. Just went down to get gas when i got back in the car the idrive screen was black. I can still use the volume button to turn up and down the radio station it was on. i can hit "mode" to change source to AUX and listen to music from my phone. But the Idrive screen is black don't see anything.

1) Tried to press the volume with 2 eject buttons for 30 seconds( someone said that resets it) but that didn't work.
Anything else i can try?
Anyone have any suggestions that they HAVE tried and worked?

I've got mine set to turn off if I hit one of the two steering wheel buttons, not sure if yours is set that way but worth a shot.

Maybe borrow a CCC head unit from someone local to see if thats the culprit?
